Hey guyz

So I'm trying to get into English 199, but all the sections are currently full.
Is there a way I can get a spot in English 199? Does begging the prof help?

ideas are appreciated

    I'm assuming you are already on the waitlist? Depending on your place in line you may still get in!

    And it couldn't hurt to email the prof and beg to get in. :wink:

    ENGL 199 has always been a class hard to get into. I tried to get in for a few semesters but I finally gave up. I think the only way to really get in is by having an early registration date. It is a pretty intensive class, so I guess this keeps out the poorer students...just my guess

    talk to the prof, but you need a good reason...for example if you need it for your degree or to graduate etc hint hint

    good! i think ENGL 101 seems more interesting than the material you learn in ENGL 199 (from what i've heard).

    i think the ENGL 101 offered this past semester was about Fiction in the Blog Dimension, which sounded pretty interesting to me, since it seems the content would be fairly recent. i wanted to take it but my schedule couldnt fit it in. :(

    This semester I couldn't get in either so I enrolled in Eng 199 by distance ed. (because that one is usually not full). Plus the English 199 classes on campus seemed a lot harder than the one by distance ed. Ya, so if you really want to take it try enrolling in the distance ed. one.
